Suella Braverman "We cannot bankrupt Britons"

Of course, nations like the UK must do their part. As the 'Tesco' ad says, "Every little helps".

Sunak Accused of Ignoring School Problem.
Have you ever heard of 'RAAC'? Well if you have been watching UK news broadcasts, you will know, that it is a cheap concrete form. It was used to construct schools in the 70s-80s and probably into the 90s. Not only in schools but in other municipal buildings like courts. Now many schools have been closed because this cheap concrete is causing schools to crumble. This has disrupted thousands of children's school lives. Money will now be needed to upgrade and repair these houses of education.
